Description

Now she can be herself without worrying how people react; here, they will only ever have known her as Amanda. Being trans in a transphobic society means that we are constantly having to confront bias and educate people and have difficult conversations. There is perhaps a touch of melodrama about this event (but it’s fiction and a story does need a black moment so I gave it a pass. Please tell your families about this one and then give me some recommendations for what intermediate LGBTQ literature would be!

Please note: it is wonderful to feel like your opinion is valued, but this is a trans book by a trans woman and I am a cis reader - please consider the limitations of my perspective and seek out the reviews and commentary of trans readers. You can feel the emotion in the readers voice like she's actively living it and the story… just fits. If I Was Your Girl is an own voices novel centered around Amanda, a transgender girl growing up in a small American town. I really encourage everyone to listen to this story whether they be Trans, CIS, gay, straight, bi, pan or however they self identify.This is the perfect book for introducing trans characters to someone who may have zero experience with them in fiction or reality. The type of book you read and want to immediately share, because it's too important to keep to yourself. This book too had an open ending; Amanda had tied the loose ends, but her relationship with Grant was confusing and left open. I’d rather point you in the direction of trans reviewers: this blog post is a general list of reviews of trans/non-binary lit by trans/non-binary reviewers—scroll down to the If I Was Your Girl section; there are four as of my writing of this.

I think because she’s suffered a lot at the hands of other people, she really knows how her words can/will affect the people around her. If you have an article you like, or a worry to talk about, or you just want to vent a bit about trans life, then we're here! Her mother is very supportive but Amanda’s home town isn’t a safe place for her since she started living openly as a girl.When Meredith is not busy writing she can be found reblogging pictures of cats and babies, reading fan fiction and fantasy novels, arguing with strangers about social justice, and raising her two amazing children, Vivian and Darwin. So my criticism isn’t necessarily against the author individually as it is against the industry that favors this kind of narrative for the spotlight. Amanda and Grant then go to a Halloween party where their Star Wars themed costumes both have masks that cover their faces. Extent: 304 pages Dimensions: 201 x 141mm Paperback ISBN: 9781474923835 Accelerated Reader Book Level: 5.

It makes me feel really immature and petty, like I can’t appreciate a story about a narrative different from my own. We pulled up in front of the Sartoris Dinner Car, an actual converted railroad car on a cinder-block foundation. She knows from before just how cruel and violent people can be when they know the truth, and doesn't want to not only lose the new people in her life, but lose the life she currently has; with passing so easily, no-one has any clue about Amanda's past, so as long as no-one knows, she can simply be. It also draws attention to the general misogyny that girls and women face in being constantly scrutinized and objectified by the patriarchal male gaze.IF I WAS YOUR GIRL is an intense pressure cooker drama centered on the chaotic affair between two interrelated lesbian couples.
